Johnny Lee Long X7 I been playing bass for 52 years and I learn SO much from you.I feel like I owe ya for a lesson. I Love and Pray for you X7 many times a day. Thank you and some day I hope to HUG you huggy bear self. You tare that thing up with abandon and a feather touch. ❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️
Johnny . . Sir . . My man . . Since Feb . . When I got my Stingray . . I have been watching multiple online beginner bass. You have provided the simplest, down to earth and funky lesson. You have officially become my foundation on which to build Thump/Slap. It already feels right. Thank you. I'm going to practice more right now. (Big ups to Hootie!)
Mr. Long, I want to thank you for showing and demonstrating equipment that is very affordable (maybe even called cheap) it shows spending a fortune doesn’t make one a better player. It may definitely help and sometimes it really does. But listenin to this first act makes me feel better about my next purchase 😂😂
Johnny you have a percussiveness to your playing. Like a guitar player muffling his strings on his left hand yet, chuka chuka with his right hand. Cool technique man!
Thank you sir. Best slap lesson I’ve seen. Still trying to get a feel for how hard to strike. I feel it’s to hard some times. Causing the string to hit the pickup. I’m gonna get this!
Where the Heck did "Slap" Come From? I'm 62, been Playing Since 13 And it Always has been called "Thumping and Plucking" in the FUNK Community, It's Not Slapping, Slapping is Hitting the Strings with an Open Hand! How is it "Slap" when you Hit With Your Thumb!

That was probably the best 22 minutes of video I have seen in a very long time
You the Man, J.L.L! Keep on thumpin!
Thanks, Johnny-I will try it your way; thump/plunk-pull as opposed to Slap/pop. ;)
No calluses on my fingers either..... 62 years old...playing g since the 80s
Less is more! Preach it Johnny!!! ✌️😎🎸

Beginners...play your bass . Don't beat on it . If you want to play lead get a different instrument .
